Who Should Complete This Rotator Cuff Candidate Check?
This form is designed for patients with ongoing shoulder pain, weakness, night pain, difficulty lifting the arm, or an MRI report showing a rotator cuff tear. It may also be helpful if you have been told you have a supraspinatus tear, partial-thickness tear, full-thickness tear, or may need rotator cuff repair surgery.
This is not a diagnosis and does not replace an in-person medical evaluation. Instead, it helps Dr. Jové better understand your symptoms and guide you toward the appropriate next step.
Signs You May Need a Shoulder Evaluation
Common reasons to complete this check include shoulder pain that has not improved, weakness with lifting, pain reaching overhead, pain at night, loss of motion, or an MRI showing a torn rotator cuff.
What Happens Next?
After you submit the form, your responses are reviewed by Dr. Jové. A member of our team will contact you within 1–2 business days to discuss next steps, which may include scheduling a shoulder consultation, reviewing imaging, or discussing non-surgical and surgical treatment options.
